Jesinta Franklin shares topless photo to fight for marriage equality

Jesinta Franklin has spoken out about her support for marriage equality, saying that she is "ashamed of Australia" for not legalising same-sex marriage.

The 25-year-old is one of several Australian celebrities to support the campaign Until We All Belong, in the latest of Marie Claire.

"To be honest, as an Australian who travels so much, it makes me feel so ashamed of my country," the model told the magazine.

"People are constantly saying 'I can't believe you don't allow gay marriage' and all I can do is agree. It's embarrassing."

Jesinta, who married Buddy Franklin last year, made her own wedding a stance against marriage inequality.

"Our celebrant took a moment to say, 'the constitution says that marriage is between a man and a woman in Australia – but Jesinta and Bud think that’s bull----,'" Jesinta recalled.

The media personality, who has two gay aunts, also officiated the wedding of two close friends.

"It was a huge honour," Franklin said.

"But it also brought a lot of sadness because their marriage won't be legally recognised."

Jesinta also shared her support to Instagram. Alongside a topless photoshoot snap, the former Miss Universe wrote:

"I've joined forces with @marieclaireau to be involved with the "UNTIL WE ALL BELONG" campaign in the fight for Marriage Equality in Australia. This is something very close to my heart ❤️💛💚💙💜 Please click on the link in my bio to read about how you can get involved xo #loveislove#weallbelong#marriageequality"

She also recently shared a photo of her and her Sydney Swans beau standing in front of a map of Australia with 'equality' written across it. Jesinta captioned the image with "we believe in love".

Also supporting the Until We All Belong campaign are Adam Goodes, Waleed Aly, Asher Keddie, Carla Zampatti and Gemma Ward.
